J.Install Decorative Wall Components (SLP only)
A decorative wall thimble can be installed on wall through which the vent passes. The decorative wall thimble is used to cover the wall shield firestop.
•Slide the decorative wall thimble over the last section of horizontal pipe before connecting the termination cap to the pipe.
•Once the pipe section and the termination cap have been connected, slide the wall thimble up to the interior wall surface and attach with screws provided. See Figure 10.19.
K.Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal Termination
WARNING! Risk of Fire! To prevent overheating and fire, heat shields must extend through the entire wall thick- ness.
•DO NOT remove the heat shields attached to the wall shield firestop and the horizontal termination cap (shown in Figure 10.20).
•Heat shields must overlap
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section is
If the wall thickness does not allow the required
•If the wall thickness is less than 4 in./102 mm (DVP) or
•Use an extended heat shield if the finished wall thickness is greater than
•The extended heat shield may need to be cut to length maintaining sufficient length for a
•Attach the extended heat shield to either of the existing heat shields using the screws supplied with the extended heat shield. Refer to vent components diagrams in the back of this manual.
•Rest the small leg on the extended heat shield on top of the pipe section to properly space it from the pipe section.
Important Notice: Heat shields may not be field constructed.
